Discovery Education's WebMath tool is geared toward those needing help with elementary math, general math, algebra, calculus, trigonometry and geometry. Users select a type of math, enter the problem into the interface and then see each step in the problem-solving process.

Mathway's tool has a detailed interface with clickable symbols to use for entering problems. Although users can see the answers for free, a subscription is needed for step-by-step walkthroughs.

PhotoMath is available for Amazon Kindle, Android, Apple and Windows mobile devices. Users simply take a picture of the problem from a textbook and get options to see the answer and a walkthrough. This app is particularly good for being fast and simple, notes PhotoMath.
